My Three Sons was on the air for 12 years? Damn.

Ever since I heard the news, the damn show's theme song has been stuck in my head.

Without looking it up: Who played the other brothers?

Tim Considine (the soldier slapped by General Patton) played Mike, who got the Chuck Cunningham treatment when CBS took over the series from ABC. Stanley Livingston played Chip and Barry Livingston was Ernie.

And the two Uncle Charleys? (tick, tick, tick)

William Demarest was one.

You get half-credit ..... William Frawley was the other. He was Fred on I Love Lucy.

I was only 3 when the series ended, but I remember watching the re-runs (along with several other '60s and early-'70s shows) while growing up.

Sad...

I LOVED M3S, mostly because my sister was a major c-word and I essentially grew up as an only child.

RIP. Say hi to Steve, Bub and Uncle Charley.

Except Frawley played Bub, the boys' maternal grandfather. Charley was Bub's brother, if I remember correctly.

The most unintentionally funny thing I ever read in my life was a 1988 Indianapolis 500 yearbook story about Tim Considine.

Then, as now, the Indy 500 couldn't draw **** for real celebrities. It was probably worse then if that can be believed.

Considine was the celebrity IMS feted. In 1988.

The story was two pages long and made Considine out to be Robert Redford. I believe Dan "Pee Wee from Porky's" Monahan, who is from Indiana, also had a story devoted to him in the same yearbook, but not as long.

It was hilarious. I wish I still had it.

Hell. - no mention Don's sister, the late Lani O'Grady from Eight is Enough?
RIP x 2

Amazing looking at some of the actors who appeared on M3S at some point. Jodie Foster, Tim Matheson, Beau Bridges, George Takei?

the Chuck Cunningham treatment. ... That is priceless. And who could the great Bill Frawley?

Damn, I was really looking forward to The Greefs getting back together.

Great show. Robbie had the triplets with Tina Cole. And when they added the wife and little Dottie at the end, was a great move. RIP

Did someone say theme song?

You aren't the only one hearing it in *your* head, Dyno. It has been in my head this morning, too.

My brother had two boys until 2005 when he had his third son. I jokingly asked my mother, as a bit of a snide comment (because my brother doesn't care for my sense of humor), "What are they going to name this one? Chip, Ernie, or Robbie?" She laughed. I doubt he would have seen the humor.

RIP.

Without looking it up, I know they were played by real-life brothers, both named Livingston. Stanley L. played Ernie, right....? Can't recall the first name of the Livingston brother who played Chip.

Without looking it up: Who played the other brothers?

Real-life brothers Barry Livingston and Stanley Livingston and the soldier who got slapped in Patton was ... ahhhh! Can't remember his name.
